A 33-year-old Connecticut man posted bail at the District D-4 police station, then went outside and fell asleep in the front seat of a police cruiser, Boston police said.

Nicholas Cunliffe told officers he was “just looking for a place to sleep,” police said.

At about 2:50 a.m. Sunday, police were flagged down by a man near Hemenway and Boylston streets who said his taxi had just been stolen, police said in a posting on their blog. Officers were able to stop the vehicle a short distance away and placed Cunliffe under arrest.
